Frederik Roijé: Two of a Kind Ring by Ami Kealoha
Bucking nearly every Valentine's Day gift cliché out there by dispensing with traditional materials, colors, ornamentation and the like, this porcelain double ring is a minimalist piece of jewelry that still packs a sweetly sentimental punch. Designed by Dutch designer Frederik Roijé and produced by Droog, "in breaking the ring an engagement with each other will exist." We can't think of a more elegant interpretation of a ring's symbolism, though we imagine this one's more suited to wearing on a chain than on a finger due to its size and fragility.
The Two of a Kind ring is $119 from Generate Design. Ground shipping is free in the U.S. and Canada but can take up to four weeks, so order at your own risk.
